a new year

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

What a busy month! It feels like there hasn't been a moment to stand still...from getting sick multiple times and work, to preparing for the holidays. And now we are looking at a new year! It seems a bit typical to talk about a new start as we approach a new year, but something about a new year is too inspiring not to talk about it.

Whether you can't wait for 2011 to end or it was a year that brought great opportunities your way, having a new year really is the best time to evaluate what you want for your life in the new year. I feel like setting goals is motivating. Today would be a great day to start evaluating how you may want to change this new year. It could sound small, such as truly taking a day off, or it may be starting a new business. Whatever it is, it will be big to you and the quality of your life. Don't be afraid to jump in and make those changes and follow your dreams.

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending."

-Maria Robinson

Hi Shawna!! Happy New Year to you! I hope it's a truly wonderful year for you. I'm committed to making this my most creative and adventurous year yet :) I'm not a resolution-maker.. more of a goal-setter I guess. haha Well I hope you are feeling now too. Talk to you soon! xo

Hey Shawna! thanks for all your comments. I know what you mean...The holidays is the busiest time of year for everyone I think, including myself and I felt like it just sped by. We took a surprise trip to Umbria and I'm recovering from our trip. We didn't get any sleep and I'm just trashed. I hope you had a wonderful New Year! Speak soon!

Hello lovely lady, I miss you very much! I hope you are feeling better now!...Happy new year to you. I wish you a wonderful 2012.My new year's eve was lovely! I spent it praying with my family in Nigeria, and preparing for my brother's wedding. The wedding was beyond lovely.

I have read this post before, and it still makes me teary. The quotes are lovely.How are you these days? I hope your days are lovely and warm.I'm back to the US. I had a wonderful trip! Also, I got a new bike. She is beautiful. I slowly await the summer, so I can paint crazy things on her..haha.School begins on Wednesday. Floyd and I will be going to the same school. This makes me very happy. I might not see him often though. He has classes 3 days a week, and I'm in the Engineering building 24-7...Nevertheless, I'm happy we might have lunch/ride home together sometimes. :))) Oh, we are not dating. We are simply "good friends" who care much for each other.Speaking of lovers, my bestfriend (Brenton) wants me to marry him someday in the future....I love him very much, but we are not at a marriage level...not yet.That's my life so far..The usual...School, work, Brenton, new people.Tell me about your days.

How are you? I am doing great now from getting all those sickness. Thank you for stopping by like always :) Love those inspiring quotes you've added towards the end. Something I needed and will always keep in mind. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas as well as New Years!
